Hobbies and Interest

I love music and singing. I am a member of the female physician choir "Voices Rock Medicine" (https://www.voicesrockcanada.com). For exercise I enjoy kayaking and swimming in the summer and light hiking any time. In the winter I love to knit for family and friends. I travel often for work and for pleasure.
